This $500,000 federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports the participation of U.S. scientists in the LHCB experiment at CERN. The grant funds facility operations, maintenance, and computing support to enable research that explores "beyond the Standard Model physics" and aims to identify new phenomena that could reveal the existence of new particles or forces. The award...

This Project Grant award of $197,658, provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Physics under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049), funds research and educational activities at the University of South Alabama (USA). The key products and services delivered through this award include: Continued support for the USA's participation in the NOVA experiment, a leading particle physics research project on the intensity frontier. This will...

This Project Grant award, valued at $400,000, was provided by the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program. The project utilizes quantum spin defects in diamond and hexagonal boron nitride to study non-equilibrium quantum dynamics and how quantum systems behave when pushed away from equilibrium. The insights gained will enable better prediction and understanding of complex quantum systems, and guide the design of improved quantum-based simulators and...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences) provides $160,000.00 to Duquesne University to support a conference experience for undergraduate students attending the Division of Nuclear Physics Annual Meeting for two years (2025 and 2026). The program will recruit graduate students and postdoctoral researchers to mentor the undergraduates, with the goal of encouraging students to pursue careers in nuclear science. The funding...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports theoretical research on the Th-229 nuclear isomer transition and its application in developing compact, highly accurate nuclear clocks. The $567,152 award to the Board of Regents of the Nevada System of Higher Education, operating through the University of Nevada, Reno, will fund an interdisciplinary effort combining materials science, quantum chemistry,...

This Project Grant award of $223,040 from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program supports the National Nuclear Physics Summer School. The summer school, held annually since 1988, aims to expose advanced graduate students and postdoctoral researchers to the latest developments and methods in nuclear physics. The program provides lectures and interactive discussions covering major subfields such as nuclear matter, electromagnetic physics, astrophysics, and...

This $1,050,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports the Rutgers University Intermediate Energy Nuclear Physics Group's research into the structure of the nucleon. Specifically, the funding enables the group to continue experimental nuclear physics research through the MUSE measurement of scattering cross sections of positively and negatively charged electrons and muons from a liquid hydrogen target at the Paul...

This Project Grant award, valued at $376,379.00 and funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under its Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports research on the dynamics of few-body quantum systems. The key objectives are to develop a quantum mechanical treatment of the time evolution of small atomic and molecular systems, in order to reveal few-body phenomena and improve understanding of larger system dynamics. The research will focus on two main areas: (1)...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) awarded a $146,976 Project Grant under the Measurement and Engineering Research and Standards (CFDA 11.609) Federal Grant Program to the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich) to conduct research on quantum electrodynamics. The purpose is to realize one of the most stringent tests of quantum electrodynamics, yielding independent determinations of the Rydberg and fine structure constants, which are pivotal in the CODATA...

This Project Grant award of $774,074.20, provided by the Department of Defense's Basic Scientific Research Program (CFDA 12.431), supports fundamental research on the precision laser spectroscopy of the thorium nuclear isomer transition conducted by the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). The research aims to expand scientific knowledge and understanding in areas critical to national security, such as advanced materials and quantum technologies. The award, which spans the period from...
